I can't use it on my FreeBSD machine. I run SETI at home on it mainly because I set it so it uses my full CPU power and just let it do it's thing. I don't like windows and I don't use linux for anything other than asterisk and embedded systems. My ability to contribute to the project is limited because the client is not open source or run on FreeBSD. Jonathan ID: 46705 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
